And now, our watch has ended.
But that doesnt mean everything has been wrapped up all nice and neat oh no!
That wouldnt beGame of Thrones style.
But like a resident survivor of Flea Bottom, weve got to keep buggering on.
Wait, so Bran is really king now?Did you not just watch the show?
And thats Bran the Broken to you.
Does that make any sense?If you think about it, kind of, yeah!
Who else knows all the past, present, and future of the Known Realm in exhaustive detail?
Who else has been on this ride all along?
To say nothing of the fact that, in the George R.R.
Martin telling of the story, the first point-of-view chapter we get is Brans.
Whether it makes you happy or not is another thing entirely, but thats not something we can evaluate.
Okay, but they couldnt come up with a better nickname for Bran?Right?
Its not great, but it is super in line with the sort of nicknaming that happens in Westeros.
Just browse throughA Wiki of Ice and Fire lots of rude-ass nicknames there!
Of course Jon Snow wouldnt know the shortcut.
Wait, that was the Red Keep Dany was standing on when she delivered her terrifying speech?Yes!
Pretty scary and downright, uh,Star Warsian, was it not?
Wonder if that wasa coincidence.
GuessDanys dreamin the House of the Undying was way less intense than reality who knew?
As for Arya not closing any of the green eyes Melisandre prophesied for her?
Or maybe its because most prophecies are garbage.
And on that note … Is magic not an allegory for anything?
Does religion not control anything, then?
To all of which the answer would seem to be: no.
But it doesnt make you better or more fit to rule anything.
Unless, I guess, youre Brandon Stark.
But will he like how its all wrapped up?
Was there a time jump in there?
How was there suddenly no ash on the ground?Yes!
Are we really obligated to call what was on Jon Snows chin a beard?I think so.
I dont make the rules.
Where is Grey Worm going?
What is Naath?Grey Worm and some of his Unsullied are headed to Missandeis island hometown.
Probably to open up a couple bed and breakfasts.
They just better watch out forbutterfly fever.
Where is Arya going?
Whats west of Westeros?Short answer: No one knows.
But where is she headed?
Several people have journeyed west of Westeros …never to return.
There are rumors that it is never winter there and nobody dies.
Seems like an interesting place to send Arya murderperson Stark, no?
But all signs point toward HBOs spinoff seriesall being prequels, so dont hold your breath.
WhatwasSamwell wearing, by the way?Archmaesters robes!
She has Jaimes old job!
Thats why she wrote the end of his story in the great big book of old Westerosi knights.
Did Ser Davoss long-suffering wife get to upgrade to a fancy castle?She better have.
Maybe he got Harrenhal?
Feels like a sad but ultimately appropriate place for our Onion Knight to call home.
Whats the significance of Tyrions honeycomb and a jackass joke to the council?Well!
Its a joke that, twice now, Tyrion has started but never been able to finish.
Its a nice little callback to a long-standing gag.
The last shot of the finale indicates that Jon (along with Tormund hi, Tormund!)
is leading the Free Folk back to their homes, now that the threat of White Walkers is gone.
So whats left for Jon and his brothers in black to guard the realms of men against?
Hey, north of the Wall is a big place.
